Board of Directors Spotlight
|
|
We would like to take a moment to recognize just one of the very valuable members of our Board of Directors, Karen Cunningham - Immediate Past President. Karen is in her 9th year on the board where she has demonstrated her desire to help Frisco Family Services provide the critical programs and services that our community needs while providing hope and restoring faith for individuals and families at a critical time in their lives.
The best advice Karen has received is to
“follow her heart and listen to her instincts. Even hard/painful lessons are worth learning.”
Karen enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, watching sports and is a huge Peyton Manning fan.
We treasure each and every Board member, and are so grateful for their time and talents dedicated to ensuring the success of our clients and building a caring community.
